Energy Efficiency/Green Building

In an effort to stabilize housing by enhancing affordability, the St. Louis County Office of Community Development (OCD), in partnership with Laclede Gas and a private developer, launched an energy study to determine the best prescription of green building techniques to control utility costs. The study, which was the first of its kind on a national platform, examined traditional building methods and various Energy Star features by means of a ten (10) home project known as Patrician Place. Funding for this endeavor was provided by a regional bank and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

For more information on this project please see the follow publications below.

The Patrician Place Study was also recently awarded a "What's Right with the Region Award" by Focus St. Louis. For more information click here.
